I found the answer:

"Pairing button is used to pair the phone to the car the first time. After that, the phone will pair up once you start the car. Some folks just leave the button under the cup holders so as to not cut a hole into car."

Don't forget about the "notepad" function in the SES module... you can record your voice (and all the background noise) for up to a couple minutes.

As for car specific TCU, there are several settings which can be coded to the TCU if you don't like error codes being logged. Though after 31 occurences, the TCU stops counting. The settings vary by hardware version, but I few I recall:
GPS: on/off
SOS Button: active / not-active
Display: Professional / Business
Voice Recognition: on/off

NavCoder can change some of this.

Were you able to pair this TCU (84.10 6963758 - 03) with your car? I have an exact same issue, ECE TCU (European), Bluetooth gets identified in NavCoder and other systems, but I can't find it with my iPhones, and screen always read ACTIVATE PHONE on on-board monitor and instrument cluster.

Car is USA but this TCU is european, does it mean that I have to re-code the FA / VO to match the TCU? I can't add TCU through progman in standard way I was thinking if I need to overwrite the vehicle order directly and try it then?

thank you.

Don't mean to hijack this post, but someone also look into this post, I got a lot of screenshots in there too with all relevant software:

Can someone share their VO coding code and the TCU part number, I want to try to enter the same one into my car to see if I can get it to work. Thank you.

Here are some of the ZCS (Central Coding Key containing GM / SA / VN) bits for the various telephone options.

"Decode BMW Order v0.3" should be using this info though...

What about 0633 and which one of the options is most likely to be relevant to Ibus everest ece gsm module?

Thanks.

I GOT IT TO WORK, FINALLY but not 100% fully!!!

I have a 4/04 build TCU in my car. (its the one month part). I have a PK and my phone has seen the BT before, but I cannot pair. Cant seem to get any of the steeringwheel buttons to work for this either. Will navcoder 'release' the BT here or work for this at all or am I really SOL and need to buy a newer TCU? I have the BT antenna, and I have SOS.

What is the part number of your TCU? Check it against this list... if it is not one of the modules confirmed with BT, then you do not have it.
